Yes, it is possible. A typical charge might be: "Obstruction of Justice," or "Impeding a Police Investigation." Depending on the type and seriousness of the information you're withholding, you might even find yourself charged as an "Accessory" to the crime. The only legal exception to this is if the person against whom you would be testifying against is your spouse.
